No eye-level viewfinder?

I had the same concern and talked to Ritz Camera, they recommended me to buy a $20 cover for the camera's LCD that would shade and protect it. There is no viewfinder on the camera and the LCD is quite reflective, which would make it hard to see in the sunlight.

check the remote for the aspect button (it's a rectangle with arrows) or go to the picture menu and on second "page" there is the aspect - it sounds like you're zoomed in. i did that to mine by accident.

Yes it does have a view finder. I really like having the option of the view finder or screen.

I think it's about the same as any other point-and-click. It's definitely a problem since they did away with view finders.

yes! Just to the left side of the view finder tucked in a very small groove! Works great!

Unfortunately not. It's the one thing I miss, being an old fashioned camera user. I did find that I quickly got used to it though since most do away with the view finder these days for a good screen (this camera has a nice, clear, large one). A little difficult in bright light.

No it does not have a view finder but the LCD screen seems really reliable so far.

I'm 6' 2" and the viewfinder on my D7100 is right at eye level when fully extended. I need to stand on my tiptoes to be able to read the control panel on the top of the camera when it is fully extended.

Only some special purpose cameras do not have viewfinders at all. These are, for example, web cameras and video surveillance cameras. They use external monitors as their viewfinders. To better explain the answer I will guess you are asking about an optical viewfinder and not an electronic one. To which the answer would be; No it doesn't have an optical viewfinder. However, it does have an electronic viewfinder; the LCD screen. In addition to its primary purpose, the LCD screen; an electronic viewfinder, can be used to replay previously captured material, and as an on-screen display to browse through menus.

Yes, look at the back panel and then press EVF/LCD BUTTON, TOP BUTTON, then cycle through whichever setting you want. It's either view finder or LCD screen.

There is a button with lightning sign and word "Open" below it. You can find that on the ledt side of the viewfinder.

No. The eye level viewfinder is digital and a bit dim and small compared to TTL. Plus there is a large screen on the back.

It has BOTH a viewfinder or you can use the display in the back of the camera. I am like you, I don't like using the display. The viewfinder is excellent. There is a switch on the top of the camera that lets you choose which viewing system you prefer and it defaults it until you change it.

No the camera does not have a built in view finder, you have to take the SD card out to watch the images/videos from a SD player, or hook up the camera with a PC or Mac.

Correct there is no viewfinder. I didn't have much trouble with the screen in bright sunlight. Took the camera to Cabo San Lucas for vacation and it worked great. And I should add that it will depend somewhat on how sensitive your eyes are in the sun and if you are wearing sunglasses. I had sunglasses with a medium tint. I didn't find it to be an issue like it is on a lot of smart phones.

There is a small wheel to the right of the viewfinder. By turning it you will adjust the viewfinder to your eyesight. Easy!

There is a manual focus adjustment on the side next to the view finder. If you don't use it to set viewfinder focus, it's usually blurry. This feature is also identified in your camera's manual. Hope this helps!
